Nice of Dice to give a challenge for those who missed the VCR… by giving it a requirement to use the useless IGLA
This counts for the Stinger too but how they expect you to get an aircraft take down with the mechanics and map sizes they have in place on BF6. Both Stinger and IGLA have seeker warheads that are about as reliable as a British Leyland car. I could fart in a 50mph wind and it would still track to my nostrils better then these man pads do(i am talking about when you fire at a aircraft and they do no use flares but the missile still misses anyway)
The IGLA if maintained lock and reacquire targets but the out of range mechanic blocks it and the flare countermeasures are too frequent and even then if are all out of countermeasures they can dip below the radar alt which can also make your missile seeker loose lock.
So you cannot maintain lock with a IGLA because of frequent flares and low radar mechanic and you cannot require a lock if they dip below radar or fly out of range your missile is a did.
All this counts for the stinger too the difference is you do not need to maintain a lock while the missile
Is in flight.
Also the challenge states takedowns or assists… well if you manage to get a hit and the pilots bail destroying the heli… you get no progress at all towards it.
